A radio play by Thomas Carnduff
Cast
Act 1: The Armstrongs' home, York
Street, Belfast
Act 2: A Belfast Weaving Factory
Act 3: A Belfast Shipyard
The time is the year 1920
Produced by H. L. Morrow
Belfast's great industries, and the lives of the people who run them, inspired this new play by Thomas Carnduff , who for many years worked in a Belfast shipyard. It is the poignant story of the Armstrong family and the price they pay in wringing a meagre livelihood from shipyard and factory. It is written with the insight and sympathy of one who has lived among the people -one who is, in fact, of the people.
